Biscuit Press: Turning a Passion for Art into a Booming Career in Austin, TX | Dan Grissom

On this episode of Small Business War Stories, we are joined by Dan Grissom of Biscuit Press, a company he started to become a full-time freelance illustrator and screen printer.

While Dan earned his bachelor’s degree in graphic design, he was already working as a graphic designer. He quickly learned that he did not want to be working on other’s ideas and instead wanted to create his own art. This lead him to finding his passion for painting and printmaking, and he went on to study it during grad school.

Dan then worked in the graphic design, screen printing and letterpress industries until finally deciding to take the leap and start his own business.

This episode is part of the Soul of America tour sponsored by Freshbooks. During October 2017, I took my second tour of America. I drove with my puppy Muddy Waggers, my guitar, and my podcasting equipment with the goal of recording podcast episodes with small business owners throughout the heart of America.
